Tottenham
manager Andre Villas-Boas is plotting a summer move for Portuguese
forward Eder if he misses out on his top strike target – Leandro Damiao, writes the Sunday People.

However,
Villas-Boas has to have a back-up plan in case they cannot get a deal
done for Damiao, who has long been on Tottenham’s radar, and Eder is one
of the options he will consider.

Villas-Boas has had his spies watching the 22-year-old Braga star this season and the reports have all been positive.

Sunday People Sport
understands Eder’s representatives are aware of the interest and that
he would be keen on the move. And Spurs have made tentative contact with
Braga over the player, who has also been watched by Norwich.

Eder has a £26m release clause in his contract but the club have money issues and will listen to offers of around £8m.
